Lower track is near down, and once the stattion is back down, I can fit the Woodland Scenics riser and track all the way round.

My CS3 is still off for repairs, but hopefully it will all be ready to run some trains when it comes back…

I have also secretly ordered McK’s new IC3 (litra MF) model to arrive next spring.

Played around a bit and managed to re-generate them without losing my editing and tagging, using the following procedure:

1) Select all the raw photos for import (again)

2) Tick (if not already ticked) “Do not import suspected duplicates”

3) The dimmed thumbnails are the ones you want to import as those are the ones you imported last time

4) Un-tick all

5) Un-tick “Do not import suspected duplicates”

6) Tick the ones that were dimmed down

7) Un-tick “Add to collection”

8) Import

That re-generated the DNGs

I
then generated a new web-catalogue and watched the file sizes as it
built the files and the were all 30-40% bigger, so it definitely made a
difference.

When my third Cclo 405 came arrived with the same fault, adding to that my old 315 having the same fault as well, I started poking around in the settings.

I eventually found under Settings -> System -> Alerts, if you scrolled down, a setting called “Auto Recording”. I have now tested this function and it is indeed the cause of my “problem”.

I have informed Mio support of their incompetence. It is one of the worst cases I have seen in a long time. Mio Support, their repair center and even their software engineers for the Cyclos, neither knew about this function! It is shocking.

Commons Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy committee about
“Climate Change” outlined in the link below, and even making a TV
program about the “Climate Emergency”.

Surprised as Sir David
Attenborough, as I am sure he is aware himself, is not a climate
scientist. He is a nice and respected man, agreed, but he is actually
being disrespectful himself by encroaching on fields of other
scientists.

He is even advising
the government on isssues of economy, as he is calling for a fee on
airline tickets, a plan I believe most economists would disagree with.

Sir David Attenborough is a lovely person but from that to the
government seriously budgeting one trillion pounds for lowering CO2
emissions is just frightening. How has it come to a point where people
listen to whomever makes the most fuss over actual experts? Greta
Thunberg being an even more scary example of this.

Mark Carney
was asked if he was part of Project Fear when he was predicting issues
surrounding his field of expertise after the Brexit vote, yet no-one is
brave enough to call out all the non-scientists spreading Project
Fear when it comes to the “Climate Emergency” that only about 25% of
relevant scientists agree with.

What we really have here is a
Censorship Crisis, not a Climate Crisis. The IPCC is force-feeding
everyone their biased theories because that is what they are paid to do,
nothing more. The media no longer check facts but publishes what people
want to hear, adding to the chaos. The scientists actually working
on the climate no longer has a voice because of people like Sir David
Attenborough and Greta Thunberg and the media bias.

And
mathematitians and physicist are not climate scientists either but they
are being asked to do modelling based on un-founded theories about CO2,
without taking far more important factors or historical data in to
account.

If the Climate Emergency is real, it is serious, but spending one trillion pounds on a duf f theory is also serious. Why base it on hearsay from a nice old man and a school girl? Maybe it is time to bring in the experts?

It has come back and I was told the main board had been replaced.

I have now had a test ride and can say that the fault is still there. I don’t there that there is much doubt that this is a world wide software fault in Mio’s devices as three out of three units have now been doing this.

There is a bug in Mio’s Cyclo software which I have had a suspicion about for a while, but it became even more obvious after upgrading from the model 315 to a 405.

Both devices record tracks from when you turn them on (sometimes even before), and not from when you hit the record button. It’s obvious in mioshare, even Strava to some extent, and I have verified it with a GPX editor.

This is what a recording looks like in mioshare, even though I didn’t hit record until I was rolling down the main road. The GPS device was on for 10 minutes before starting, but it has recorded 47 minutes of nothing, then walking through the garden, and finally cycling.

This is what it looks like in my GPX editor. I have highlighted track 4, which a little while in contains the point where I actually hit record.

I have been speaking to Mio who has raised an RMA for me. They are saying no-one else has complained, so it is a fault with my device. We will see what happens.
